BA 3102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: James Goodnight, Sas Institute
Document Summary
Sas the royal treatment is a documentary that analyzes the treatment of employees at sas institute, a privately held analytics software developing company. The company is known to having stellar treatment for its employees. Sas offers major perks to all its employees, such as flexible schedules, a fitness center, and no dress code just to name a few. Due to these amazing perks employees are not quick to abandon such a great opportunity, leading to low employee turnover. Goodnight does not have a board of directors he needs to answer to. Thus, he runs his company on his own terms all while keeping his employees happy and ensuring they sustain their productivity. Like most other companies" ceos, goodnight is not hell-bent on increasing profits any which way. In my opinion, the most interesting point in the movie is the fact that jim. Goodnight does not plan to turn his company into a public company.
